The Soldier (ソルジャー, Sorujā^?) is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a humanoid enemy that dwells across the Starfall Islands.

Appearance

The Soldiers are humanoid-looking robots with a triangular red marking on where their faces should be located. They are as well relatively lanky yet top-heavy, with large and sharp shoulders and sharp prongs serving as their arms.

While they retain their shape(mostly) across all five islands, their colors scheme is different depending on which island the player is located: on Kronos and Rhea Island, they have a mainly black color scheme, on Ares Island, their color scheme is a mix of purple and black, on Chaos Island, they are completely red, while on Ouranos Island, they are white with few black details and floating shoulder plates.

Overview

In Sonic Frontiers, the Soldiers are the most common enemies, being encountered on all five Starfall Islands. They can be found in groups or alone during the parkour sections. In gameplay, the Soldiers purpose is to defeat Sonic, attacking the player by slashing them with their arms. The Soldiers aren't strong enemies, as they can be defeated easily.

The Soldiers, similarily to other enemies from Sonic Frontiers, drop items. As the game progresses, the loot becomes more valuable, starting with Skill Pieces to important items such as Portal Gears, which are used to open Cyber Space Portals, Vault Keys, which are required to unlock the Chaos Emerald Vaults, or seeds, which are used to level up Sonic.

In Shadow Generations, the Soldiers appears as enemies in the Chaos Island stage.

Powers and abilities

The Soldiers' main ability is combat. They can use their sharp arms in order to damage the player. The Soldiers also have the ability to create a shield, either visible or invisible, with the latter one being more dangerous, as they can attack the player while the player can't(unless they dodge around it) They can also create spike circles around them. However, these abilities are restricted between specific Soldier variants. The Kronos Island Soldiers have no barriers to speak of, the Ares Island Soldiers can create circular metal barriers, the Chaos Island Soldiers can create invisible barriers in front of them and a spike barrier along with the metal barrier, and the Ouranos Island Soldiers can create spiky metal barriers and a outer and inner spike barrier along with the invisible barrier.

Trivia

• The spear that appears from the Cyloop after the Soldier is sent mid-air is similar to the ones used against Ninja and its variants, as well as Knight.
• Its beta / internal name is "Man", and in the Sonic Frontiers prototypes, Soldier / Man was red on Kronos too.
